During the 2011 lockout, then-free agent defensive end Ray Edwards passed his time by pursuing a boxing career. The 6-foot-5, 273-pound Edwards shed 15 pounds for his ring debut, in which he scored a unanimous decision in a four-round bout with 5-foot-9, 210-pound T.J. Gibson.

Released last November by the Atlanta Falcons, the current street free agent has returned to the ring. His latest match came against an unknown and clearly outmatched opponent at a recent WinterFest boxing event in West Fargo, North Dakota.

Edwards had a major size and reach advantage over his opponent, who appears to have reached the conclusion that it is better to be embarrassed than pummeled.
